The school premium in Lithia is significant and measurable. Homes zoned for Newsome High typically sell for 8-15% more than comparable homes in neighboring zones assigned to different high schools. This premium applies consistently across property types, from FishHawk Ranch townhomes to rural acreage estates.
For buyers without school-age children, this premium still matters for resale value. Properties in top school zones hold value better during market downturns and sell faster when listed.
